Perfecting the Saints (The Clarion Call) by Apostle Joshua Selman | Sound of Revival USA 2026 Day 1

In this opening session of Sound of Revival USA 2026, Apostle Joshua Selman delivers a clarion call to the Church in America, combining commendation with honest correction. He begins by recognizing the significant role the American Church has played in advancing the Gospel globally through missionaries, evangelistic crusades, Bible translation, Christian media, humanitarian work, theological education, digital innovation, medical missions, Christian publishing, youth ministries, and advocacy for persecuted believers.From there, the message turns to the spiritual condition of the Church and the reasons territories experience decline. Selman emphasizes that the quality of believers in a territory is closely connected to the quality of spiritual instruction and mentorship they receive. Where there are gaps, errors, or omissions in discipleship, those gaps can become points of weakness.A major focus of the teaching is the responsibility of the pulpit. Selman identifies three ways teaching can damage the Church: false doctrine, the wrong application of otherwise biblical principles, and truth that is incomplete or seriously imbalanced. He shows why having some truth is not necessarily enough. Believers need accurate, balanced, and comprehensive teaching that produces both spiritual maturity and practical transformation.The message, however, is not primarily a condemnation of America. It is a call to restoration. Selman approaches the subject with humility, brotherhood, and honor, reminding the Church that spiritual correction is meant to restore rather than destroy. He closes with hope for America and a call for the Church to humble itself, pray, return to sound doctrine, and take responsibility for the spiritual condition of the territory.Perfecting the Saints, Part 1 is ultimately a message about the health of the Church, the responsibility of spiritual leadership, and the possibility of restoration when God's people are willing to receive both commendation and correction.
